- Gold medal IMO, ICPC, IOI 2025
- Reasoning-first. Built for agents.
- Fraction of Google's $100B budget
At what point does Silicon Valley admit they're getting outbuilt? 🤔

But here's the thing:
You create opportunity by showing up daily.
I've been posting, building, shipping for years.
Now "opportunities" find me.
It's not luck. It's compound interest on consistency.
Stay in the game long enough, you'll look lucky too.

Today I'm CTO of a public company.
Three years ago I had zero followers.
Today I'm building in public with a community.
One year ago BossAI was an idea.
Today it's solving real problems.
Nothing happens overnight.
But everything happens eventually.

I can build the perfect product nobody uses.
Or a good-enough product that solves real problems.
Talked to 100+ users this year.
Every conversation changed something.
Your customers are your product team.
Listen to them.

Month 11: Nothing's working. Ready to quit.
Month 12: First real traction.
Month 18: Sustainable growth.
Month 24: Exit conversations.
The gap between "this isn't working" and "this is working" is smaller than you think.
Don't quit in the gap.

Good. Ship it anyway.
BossAI v1 was trash compared to today.
Shipped it. Got users. Improved it.
If you're not embarrassed by your first version, you launched too late.

Built 3 businesses. Noticed patterns:
> First 6 months are hell
> Product-market fit feels sudden but isn't
> Early users become evangelists
> Exits happen when you stop chasing them
Experience isn't years. It's patterns recognized.

It validates your market.
When I started BossAI, there were 3 competitors.
Now there are 15.
Means I was right about the opportunity.
Weak founders fear competition.
Strong founders use it as fuel.

I don't post for likes.
I post so when my name comes up, people remember:
"That's the guy who builds. Ships. Wins."
Everything you post is building your reputation.
Make it count.

So you can say yes to 1 great execution.
I killed 5 features this month.
Not because they were bad.
Because they distracted from the core product.
Discipline isn't doing more.
It's doing less, better.

Stayed in my comfort zone for 2 years.
Revenue flatlined. Skills stagnated.
Took a risk. Launched in a new market. Failed.
Learned more in that failure than 2 years of comfort.
Now I chase discomfort on purpose.

Kept a toxic team member for 6 months.
"Maybe they'll improve."
They didn't. Team suffered. Product suffered.
Finally fired them. Team productivity up 3x immediately.
Lesson learned: Your A-players are covering for your C-players.
Stop letting them.

Nobody wants the process.
Multiple exits? Yes.
6 years of 80-hour weeks? No.
Public company CTO? Yes.
Countless late nights debugging? No.
Success isn't a shortcut.
It's a long cut with no days off.

I didn't ask anyone if I should:
> Start my first company
> Learn to code
> Move to a new city
> Build in public
> Launch SaaS
Permission is for employees.
Founders take calculated risks and own the outcome.

It's your own discipline.
Waking up at 5 AM when you slept at 2 AM.
Shipping when you don't feel like it.
Coding when you'd rather scroll.
I compete with yesterday's version of me.
That's the only race that matters.

Being late is guaranteed failure.
Being perfectly timed? That's luck.
I was early to AI. Suffered for years.
Now everyone's catching up and I'm 5 years ahead.
Early pain = late gain.
Worth it every time.

Underestimate what they can do in a year.
I launched 3 products this year.
Not because I'm superhuman.
Because I shipped small pieces daily.
Consistency compounds harder than you think.

Big companies take 6 months to ship a feature.
I shipped @trybossai iOS version in 3 weeks.
They have resources. I have speed.
And speed beats resources every single time.

You need better priorities.
I lead a public company. Build SaaS. Advise 3 startups.
Same 24 hours as everyone else.
The difference?
I protect my time like it's my bank account.
Because it is.

Bootstrapped from $0 to acquisition.
VCs called it "not scalable."
Sold it for multiple figures anyway.
The best revenge against doubters?
Building what they said was impossible.

Execution is everything.
I've had 100 startup ideas.
Built 12. Shipped 8. Exited 2.
The other 88 ideas? Still just ideas in someone else's head too.
Stop protecting your idea like it's gold.
Start building like your life depends on it.

Someone using AI will.
I automated 40% of my workload last year.
Hired 2 people instead of 10.
Revenue stayed same. Profit doubled.
The future isn't about working harder.
It's about working smarter with better tools.

I've helped 50+ founders with advice, intros, and resources.
Zero expectation of return.
Half disappeared. Half remembered.
The ones who remembered?
They're the ones opening doors for me now.
Karma isn't spiritual. It's strategic.

Talented founder who ships once a month? Dead.
Average founder who ships daily? Thriving.
I've been building for 6 years straight.
Zero breaks. Zero excuses. Zero "I'll start Monday."
This is why I win when others quit.
